Important Advice for Commuters
Railway authorities emphasize that these measures are vital for enhancing passenger safety and strengthening the overall railway infrastructure. Because the schedule for various trains is subject to change based on the progress of the engineering works, the railway administration has strongly advised all passengers to verify the updated status of their specific trains before heading to the station. Travelers are encouraged to check the official IRCTC website, the NTES app, or contact local station inquiry counters to receive real-time updates regarding their scheduled services. We recommend that commuters allow for extra travel time during this week-long maintenance period.
